List of CZW World Tag Team Champions

Last updated

The CZW World Tag Team Championship was a professional wrestling world tag team championship owned and copyrighted by the Combat Zone Wrestling (CZW) promotion; it is contested for in their tag team division. The championship was created and debuted on February 13, 1999, at CZW's Opening Night event. [1] Although the title is a world tag team championship, supposedly only intended for tag teams, a wrestler has held the championship by himself – Justice Pain. [1] He held the championship on his own from November 20, 1999, to January 8, 2000, when he lost it to Diablos Macabre and Midknight, who are known as The Thrill Kill Kult, the same team he defeated to win the championship.

Contents

The inaugural champions were Jon Dahmer and Jose Rivera Jr., who were awarded the championship on February 13, 1999, at CZW's Opening Night event. [1] As of January2026, BLK-OUT which consist of Ruckus and Sabian/BLK Jeez hold the record for most reigns, with five. [1] Sabian holds the record for the most individual reigns with 9. [1] The REP's third reign is the longest in the title's history, at 910 days. [1] At less than one day, Dahmer and Rivera, Jr.'s only reign and 2 Girls, 1 Cup (Beef Wellington and Greg Excellent)'s first reign are tied for the shortest. Milk Chocolate (Randy Summers & Brandon Watts) are the current champions, winning at Limelight XX against CMD (Boom Harding & DeSean Pratt).

Notes

1. ^ It is unknown which day of the month the championship was vacated. The reign is thus marked as ending on the first day of November 1999.
2. ^ ^ Each reign is ranked highest to lowest; reigns with the exact same number mean that they are tied for that certain rank.
  1. CZW ceased operations during the COVID pandemic, therefore the length of this reign is uncertain.
